Overwrap Packaging: Turn an Innovative Idea into Reality With Overwrapping, Right Fit for any Application

The global overwrap packaging market continues to hold a prominent in position in the packaging sector, with a constant rise in application areas and rapid pace of introduction of packaging materials and technologies that make the packaging more beneficial for a number of specialized packaging purposes. Vast benefits of the packaging method, ranging from a massive reduction in the overall cost of packaging products in bulk, as the amount of film required for overwraps costs significantly less than complete cardboard outer or cartons, and the possibility of on-pack promotion are driving the market.
Another highly beneficial factor that works in favor of overwrap is the minimal possibility of tampering with it. Intactness of the overwrapping film makes it evident that the product has not been contaminated since leaving the source factory. This test comes in handy to check contamination of food and beverages and pharmaceutical products. To mitigate the chances of contamination, several pharmaceutical products, which were traditionally sold in over the counter blister carton packs are being overwrapped in a number of countries.
The fact that overwrapping, unlike some packaging technologies such as shrink-wrapping, does not require excessive film for wrapping, is acting in favor of the technology as environmentalists continue to look for ways of adopting packaging technologies that produce the least amount of non-biodegradable waste. All these factors are expected to provide vast growth opportunities to the global overwrap packaging market in the next few years.
Packaging, over the past decade, surfaced as a necessity of a typical product launch strategy. Packaging is the need of all industries, which translated into the mushrooming of over thousand companies associated with packaging, including from raw material supplies to processing and from designing to printing.

The resistance to abrasion is one of the finest qualities of these labels, which leads up to their increasing demand. The climatic adversities cannot affect these tags, thus, reflecting their durability. This persuades the brand manufacturers to extensively use these labels for their products. The most unique feature endowed by these labels is that they can be centrally tracked, which makes it easy to stay in control of large amounts of products being transferred. This has popularized the product amongst large brands that have to consign good across several regions. The wide range of benefits offered by these labels has made them popular in multiple industries. Earlier, these labels were restricted to the hazardous products and chemicals; their usage has now spurred into pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and consumer goods as well. A recent propensity to use foil in these labels has gained momentum because this shields the material from environmental harm. Since these labels retain the print emblazoned on them, brands who want the visibility of their logo on the product use these labels.
Popularity of Surface Printing Could Obstruct Growth
Despite the utility of waterproof and weatherproof labels, the rise of surface printing poses a major threat to the market. It is always easier to directly emblazon the brand names on the products without the use of labels, which is what surface printing does. This is a haunting factor for the market and could slow down progress. Nevertheless, the market is expected to reap the benefits of its extensive reach across several industries.
